My violet plantlets have been growing happily all summer but I thought it might be time to separate the extras. Finding the teeny weeny pots turned out to be a bit of a challenge but I finally ordered some from an online violetry along with a couple wee plants to maximize the return for the shipping costs. As I was potting I discovered flower buds on one enthusiastic plantlet but he didn’t have many roots after the divide so I’m not sure he’ll make it. I read that you can repot the leaves for more plantlets if they are in good shape so I did that for a few of them. Now we’ll see who makes it through the winter. In the spring I’ll give away any extras that make it through.

Hi Julie,
I used to have many afican violets for years that bloomed and bloomed. I could never throw them out would root leaves when I’d repot them. I even went to an African Violet Society show in Enfield, CT I think. I am down to 2 small plants that don’t get much attention. Fun seeing yours.
